Fifth Uncle Weng looked at Lin Hao and smiled faintly, "Do you want to know?"
Before his words fell, Fifth Uncle Weng suddenly flicked his hand.
Then, in the garden not far from his right hand, all the flowers and plants instantly withered.
This move immediately drew a gasp from the crowd.
Everyone present knew Fifth Uncle Weng's great name and knew he was very powerful.
However, no one had ever seen Fifth Uncle Weng make a move.
Seeing it now, these people were almost dumbfounded.
With a wave of his hand, all the flowers and plants in the garden withered. The crowd felt that even a Grandmaster might not be able to do this.
Especially the martial artists like Wei Chu, Xu Jie, and Yang Tian.
They knew even better how powerful and miraculous this move was.
They could also strip plants of their vitality, but to strip so many at once, and with just a wave of the hand, so casually.
They admitted that even their fathers would find it difficult to achieve this.
Fifth Uncle Weng ignored the crowd's astonishment and looked at Lin Hao, smiling faintly, "If you can revive these flowers and plants, then I will tell you how."
As soon as Fifth Uncle Weng said this, the crowd was immediately startled.
Then they all looked at Fifth Uncle Weng incredulously.
But immediately after, the crowd understood.
They immediately felt that Fifth Uncle Weng was deliberately making things difficult for Lin Hao.
After all, as an elder, Fifth Uncle Weng could not make a move against Lin Hao casually, otherwise, he would be accused of bullying a junior.
But now, with such a method, even if it spread, no one would say much.
After all, the Fifth family could completely claim that Fifth Uncle Weng was testing Lin Hao's achievements in術法 (shù fǎ - magical arts/techniques).
When an elder guides a junior, no one would say much.
Believing they understood Fifth Uncle Weng's intentions, the onlookers secretly admired Fifth Uncle Weng even more.
After all, in this world, destruction is far more difficult than revival.
To destroy a flower or a plant, it only takes a moment. Knocking it down, pulling it out, or like Fifth Uncle Weng, directly stripping away its spiritual energy, and these plants would instantly die and wither.
It was like good habits and bad habits.
A bad habit can be learned in a day or two, or even an instant, while forming a good habit takes a long time, even a lifetime.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone believed that Lin Hao could not revive these flowers and plants.
And at the same time.
Lin Hao, upon hearing Fifth Uncle Weng's words, was also slightly stunned.
Lin Hao did not know what Fifth Uncle Weng meant, but since Fifth Uncle Weng had made a move, he would respond.
Originally, Lin Hao thought that with Fifth Uncle Weng's arrival, there would definitely be a fierce battle.
Now it seemed that the fierce battle could be avoided.
This was good, it would save others from saying he bullied an elder.
Thinking about this, Lin Hao looked at Fifth Uncle Weng and nodded, "Okay!"
"Hmm?"
Fifth Uncle Weng
was stunned, clearly not expecting Lin Hao to agree so readily.
At the same time, those who had been full of mockery, wanting to see Lin Hao make a fool of himself, were also stunned when Lin Hao agreed so readily.
Lin Hao ignored them and raised his hand towards the garden.
Then, in a breath.
The withered flowers and plants instantly turned green and bloomed.
Moreover, the flowers and plants became even more vibrant than before they withered.
At this moment.
Everyone's gaze was dazed, everyone's breathing stopped, and everyone's heart also stopped beating.
Not a single person present was an exception; all of them stared blankly at the garden that had regained its vitality.
Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
None of them had expected that Lin Hao could actually revive the flowers and plants in the garden.
This was simply the means of an immortal; they could not believe it at all.
But the facts were before them, and even if they didn't believe it, they had to accept it.
As everyone stared dumbfounded at this miraculous scene,
Fifth Uncle Weng looked at Lin Hao with admiration, clapped his hands, and said, "A good display of 'one thought forms a formation,' truly a hero among the young. I am ashamed of my inferiority."
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Hao to reply, he sighed again, "Lin Daozi was fortunate to have a grandson like you."
Lin Hao did not reply, but looked at Fifth Uncle Weng and said, "I have done what I promised, what about you?"
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Fifth Uncle Weng was first stunned, then smiled at Lin Hao, "If I told you I knew nothing about the marriage between the Lin family and the Fifth family, would you believe me?"
"I believe you," Lin Hao nodded, then changed the subject, "However, whether you know it or not, since you promised, you should fulfill it."
"Lin Hao!"
Lin Yuanshan suddenly roared.
However, after he roared, he realized that he was the only one speaking in the entire hall, both inside and out.
Realizing this, Lin Yuanshan was in an awkward position.
Finally, he glared at Lin Hao and snorted, saying no more.
At the same time, Fifth Uncle Weng chuckled and nodded, "Indeed, what is promised must be fulfilled."
After speaking, Fifth Uncle Weng turned to Fifth Yuanze beside him and said, "Tell me everything, in detail, about the marriage between the Lin family and the Fifth family."
"Do not conceal anything."
Fifth Yuanze's face changed, and he hesitated.
Although this matter had the greatest impact on the Lin family from beginning to end, not the Fifth family.
However, it would not sound good if the Fifth family made an exorbitant demand from the Lin family, asking for 50% control of the Lin family's assets.
The Fifth family needed a good reputation the most right now.
Otherwise, they would not be marrying into the Lin family, which was gradually declining.
Marrying into the Lin family was for the Lin family's past reputation and some of their past connections.
Moreover, they could immediately control 50% of the Lin family's assets.
Given the Lin family's current situation, it would not be long before all of the Lin family's assets would belong to the Fifth family.
Although the Lin family had gradually declined, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse.
Consuming the Lin family would definitely elevate the Fifth family to a higher level, and then they might truly be able to secure their position as the number one family in Chang'an.
This was originally a plan that killed two birds with one stone, but now...
To be honest, Fifth Yuanze was still somewhat reluctant to let go of this fat meat of the Lin family.
After all, such an opportunity was very rare.
It was like missing the boat.
If in a few more years, the Lin family truly declined completely.
Even if the Fifth family formed a marriage alliance with the Lin family, it would be of no use.
Therefore, now was an absolutely excellent opportunity.
But now...
Just as Fifth Yuanze was hesitating, Fifth Uncle Weng's tone became somewhat cold, "What, didn't you hear what I said?"
